Team Ira has the most points for the Envy charm with 200...they have read 8 BOM books so far...7 Gideon and 1 Wild Girls
Sorry I was asking how much points do we need to get the Envy charm. Thanks for the answer, Tammie.

If you haven't read through the last 2 pages of this thread, please catch up and do so. Our 1st mini challenge is starting and claiming an animal is part of our team strategy for this week. Questions, please post here and a team mate will help you.
Thanks,
i've just marked mine as finished. how are we on accuracy? i can probably slide in another book i've been reading for another challenge tonight.

i don't think it will work for the mini... unless we can count a wind-up octopus that slinks and moves about like a real one as an animal?

I have updated my completion date for Monuments and moved Crooked Kingdom to week 3 as I have gotten absolutely no reading done this weekend so won't finish this until after week 3 has started

No...if it’s as you described, it’s a toy...not allowed...sorry! If you don’t finish we can still count it for a sin if needed too.
I will try and have my book done! I've been struggling with it :/ I've also had a busy weekendBut I think it'll go into week 3 with the backroom BOM
The December adult BOM nomination is also out and will be included in TT/topic/show/...
I nominated a book but we should try nominate a green covered book that most of us can get and read. I tried but didn't have much luck. The ones I found I think people would have struggled to get from their libraries
Week 3 started 2 hours ago. We're off!We finished 36 books last week...2 off our ideal number.
Mary and Tina...you both had books on week 2 SS that were not recorded as finished so I moved those over to week 3. If there is an animal to go with those...that would be great!
If not, we can still record them for one of the sin categories.
Hopefully everyone has settle on a few animals to claim for this week's Mini Challenge...if you have not, please head over to the SS and do so. I'll update our claimed list one more time...probably tonight and then for the balance, please refer to the SS.
Happy reading everyone!

I completed the BOM and answered three sets of questions. Will that do?

Yes...minimum of 3...that's great! Please record the 1st post thread if you can on the SS. I'll find if you can't do this.

Tina the Backroom BOM works for 'Catfish'...if you can capture that sentence, I'll put you down for that. I'll wait until Week 4 to read.
Thank you! I’ve already started Fearless and I am plowing through it. I absolutely love it so far.

Thanks Tammie!
Which ever animal we end up using for White Gardenia, I'll search for it later on Amazon as I won't know the chapter by memory
For Save the Date, Cat fish is in chapter 4, "... Hunter was one dead catfish if Beau found out he'd fooled around with...", Location 637
Wilder Girls so far has:
Horses (Page 18 "fly into the ocean. There used to be horses, four of them, but early in�")
Dog (Page 18 "Shift girl said it reminded her of her dog back home, and that's�")
Bird (Page 65 "to wait a while. But so�" And then a bird chirps. I whip around, checking�")
Black bear (Page 62 "Too big for a coyote, too dark for a bobcat. A black bear. I know what I'm supposed to do�")
I'm listening to my 4th book with audio so I'll find animals via amazon when I've listened to more of it

You know what...catfish won't work in that example...it has to be an actual fish. I found it initally...so that's my fault. Note if you find any other animals in that one. I have it on my kindle...so I can look for an exact location if you find something. ...bummer :(
I'll put you down for coyote for Wilder Girls.

Yup will do! I'm just glad it's a short read so I won't have to suffer as much
I'm currently working through a 1000 plus page book (World Without End). The book I have has a horse like figure on it, so when I've finished it can either be used for the mini challenge if it qualifies, or the page one, whichever gives the best scores.
I added The Life of Pi as a suggestion for several of the Tricky words, if anyone is still looking for an animal book:Cassowary
Gibbon
Macaque
Mandrill
Spider Monkey
Tapir
I posted two books for the mini challenge.

Okay, so sorry I haven't been able to check in - this week has been crazy. I am currently reading a book that could work for the mini-challenge (for chicken) or it could be a color cover for lust. Which would be better to use it for?Also, I had a book that I entered into the SS for week 2 - I can see it entered, but I guess it isn't showing for other people? Is it too late to fix that and get the points?
Annie wrote: "Okay, so sorry I haven't been able to check in - this week has been crazy.

I saw a line with your name on it...but that's all it had was your name. No book.
Our deadlines are clear...there is a countdown timer...I've put the timer in our thread, on our SS and it's also on the main page for this challenge. I appreciate if you could double check next time and even if you don't check in but once per week...take the time to read through the threads...it's very difficult to track everyone down, especially with different time zones...I just don't have the time for that. I'm sorry...we'll do better next time....maybe fore this week post something here so one of us can double check your entry was recorded. :)

After this week I no longer have as much going on so I should be able to check in much more often.

I think I did something. Stupid phone and stupid excel! Will know for sure when i switch the laptop on.
Hey Megan, just letting you know that I had a claim on monkeys. I am pretty sure you can use Life of Pi for Tiger. Kindly change the justification on the SS. :)
“Monkey� and “Howler Monkey� are both options. Howler Monkey is on the Tricky list.
Oops sorry. My bad. I didn't realize that.
Monkeys...Buffalos...what else is there! I love it when we stick up for our animals...!
Where did you get that meme, Tammi? Haha hilarious!
My current read has a fox 🦊 in it which is in the easy list
Ambi wrote: "Where did you get that meme, Tammi? Haha hilarious!"I just googled 'fighting monkeys'...I thought it might add some levity to our evening :)
The same animal can only be found up to a maximum of 7 times." Doesn't that mean more than one person can claim a specific animal such as "dog" up to 7 times?

Yes
Team member 1 - dog 7 pts
Team member 2 - dog 1 pt
It's just not as much of a point getter...but fine if that's what works.
Oh okay! I read a book with a dog on the cover but also can work for wrath with a brown colour cover so whichever or wherever you want to put it is fine. I put it under wrath for now
****Reminder to ALL****If you have a mini challenge book...please record it on both SS's
Week 3 (there's a check box on this SS to remind you to record...pls check it once you've done)
AND
Mini Week 3
Thanks,

I am reading mine. Will check if it isn't on the sheet too.
Quick question: would this book work better for a green or yellow cover? I had originally thought green but now I'm not sure.

Annie wrote: "Quick question: would this book work better for a green or yellow cover?

Just left a message for captains asking them to check to see if any of their teammates have read it. It looks good...adding to my tbr
